FAQ
How do I convert hours and minutes to decimal?
Keep the whole hours and divide the minutes by 60: 2 h 30 min → 2 + 30/60 = 2.5. Seconds go in as seconds ÷ 3600.
Why use decimal hours on timesheets?
Payroll systems multiply an hourly rate by decimal hours. 15 minutes = 0.25 h, 30 = 0.5, 45 = 0.75 — much easier to multiply than h:mm.
What is 8 hours 12 minutes in decimal?
8 + 12/60 = 8.2 decimal hours.
